The area enclosed by the curves y = x 3 and y = x is
Options
- A5 3   sq   units
- B5 4   sq   units
- C5 12   sq   units
- D12 5   sq   units
Correct answer
C. 5 12   sq   units
Step-by-step solution
Since, the intersection of two curves y = x 3 and y = x are x = 0 and x = 1 ∴   A = ∫ 0 1 x 3 - x d x = x 4 4 - 2 x 3 / 2 3 0 1 = 1 4 - 2 3 = 5 12   sq   units
